We assume ha he e exi s a unique weak solu ion o (1) which we deno e again by u. Le Th(h>0) be a pa i ion o he closu e Ωo he domain Ωin o a ini e numbe o closed d-dimensional simplicies Kwi h mu ually disjoin in e io s. We call Th={K}K∈Tha iangu- la ion o Ωand do no equi e he con o ming p ope ies om he ini e elemen me hod. O e he iangula ion Thwe de ine he so-called b oken Sobole space Hs(Ω,Th):={ ; |K∈Hs(K)∀K∈Th},s≥0 (2) wi h he semino m | |Hs(Ω,Th):=∑K∈Th| |2 Hs(K)1/2,whe e |·|Hs(K)deno es he semino m o he Sobole space Hs(K),K∈Th. Mo eo e , o each K∈Th, we assign a posi i e in ege pK(=local polynomial deg ee). Then we de ine he se ph:={pK,K∈Th}.(3) We de ine he ini e dimensional subspace o H1(Ω,Th)which consis s o discon inuous piece- wise polynomial unc ions associa ed wi h he ec o phby Shp={ ; ∈L2(Ω), |K∈PpK(K)∀K∈Th},(4) whe e PpK(K)deno es he space o all polynomials on Ko deg ee ≤pK,K∈Th. We in oduce a o mal disc e iza ion o (1) wi h he aid o DGFE me hod. Hence, le ˜ch(u, ):H2(Ω,Th)×H2(Ω,Th)→R(5) be he co esponding o m which is nonlinea wi h espec o i s i s a gumen and linea wi h espec o he second one. We say ha he unc ion uh∈Shpis an app oxima e solu ion o (1), i ˜ch(uh, h) = 0∀ h∈Shp.(6) Mo eo e , we de ine he o m Nh:H1(Ω,Th)→Rby Nh( ):= 2∑ Γ∈FI hZΓh−1 Γ[[ ]]2dS+∑ Γ∈FD hZΓh−1 Γ( −uD)2dS  1/2 ,(7) whe e uDis om (1b), FI hdeno es he se o all in e io aces o Th,FD hdeno es he se o all aces o Thlying on ∂ ΩD,[[·]] is he jump o a unc ion om H1(Ω,Th)and hΓis he diame e o a ace Γ. Finally, we cha ac e ise he weak solu ion o (1). 57 Lemma 1.1 The ollowing implica ions a e alid: i) Le u ∈H2(Ω)be he weak solu ion o (1) hen ˜ch(u, ) = 0∀ ∈H2(Ω,Th),(8a) Nh(u) = 0.(8b) ii) I u ∈H2(Ω,Th)sa is ies bo h condi ions o (8) hen u is he weak solu ion o (1). The disc e e p oblem (6) ep esen s a sys em o Nh=dimShpnonlinea algeb aic equa ions. We sol e i wi h he aid o a New on-like i e a i e me hod which gi es he solu ion ˜uh∈Shp such ha ˜ch(˜uh, h)≈0∀ h∈Shp. 2 Residuum Es ima o In his sec ion we in es iga e he disc e iza ion e o u−uhand he algeb aic e o ˜uh−uhin a sui able (dual) no m and de ine es ima o s gi ing some in o ma ion abou hese e o s. 2.1 E o Measu e Simila ly as in [3], ou p oposed e o measu e consis s o wo building blocks, which a e mo- i a ed by Lemma 1.1, namely ela ions (8a) and (8b). Le X:=H2(Ω,Th)and k·kXis a no m de ined on X, which will be speci ied la e . The i s building block is gi en by Rh(uh):=sup 06= ∈X ˜ch(uh, ) k kX(9) which de ines he esiduum e o in he dual no m o he app oxima e solu ion uh∈Shp⊂X and i measu es a iola ion o (8a). Howe e , i is impossible o e alua e Rh(uh), since he sup emum is aken o e an in ini e-dimensional space. The e o e, in ou app oach, we seek he maximum o e some su icien ly la ge bu ini e dimension subspace o X, which is p esen ed in Sec ion 2.2. The second building block is based on (8b), which cha ac e ises a iola ion o he con o mi y o he weak solu ion and a iola ion o he Di ichle bounda y condi ion. I is ep esen ed by he alue Nh(uh)≥0 gi en by (7) which we call he noncon o mi y o he app oxima e solu ion. In con as o Rh(uh) he quan i y Nh(uh)is di ec ly compu able om (7). Finally, ou e o measu e is he sum o squa es o he esiduum e o and noncon o mi y, i.e., Eh(uh):= (Rh(uh)2+Nh(uh)2)1/2.(10) Due o Lemma 1.1 we simply obse e ha Eh(uh) = 0 i and only i uh=u. 2.2 Global and Elemen Residuum Es ima o s In he p e ious sec ion, we in oduced he e o measu e Eh(uh) = pRh(uh)2+Nh(uh)2o he app oxima e solu ion uh∈Shp⊂X. Whe eas Nh(uh)is easy o e alua e, he quan i y Rh(uh) has o be app oxima ed in a sui able way, which is p esen ed in his sec ion. Fo each K∈Th and each in ege p≥0, we de ine he spaces Sp K:={ φ h∈X, φ h|K∈Pp(K), φ h|Ω K=0}(11) 58 and S+ hp:={ φ ∈X; φ =∑ K∈Th cK φ K,cK∈R, φ K∈SpK+1 K,K∈Th}.(12) Ob iously, Shp⊂S+ hp⊂X. Now, we de ine he elemen esiduum es ima o ρ h,K(uh):=sup 06= ψ h∈SpK+1 K ˜ch(uh, ψ h) k ψ hkX=sup ψ h∈SpK+1 K,k ψ hkX=1 ˜ch(uh, ψ h),uh∈X,(13) o each K∈Thand he global esiduum es ima o ρ h(uh):=sup 06= ψ h∈S+ hp ˜ch(uh, ψ h) k ψ hkX=sup ψ h∈S+ hp,k ψ hkX=1˜ch(uh, ψ h),uh∈X,(14) which a e easily compu able quan i ies i k·kXis sui ably chosen, see Sec ion 2.4. Ob iously, i u∈Xis he exac solu ion o (1) hen consis ency (8a) implies 0 = ρ h(u) = ρ h,K(u),K∈Th. Mo eo e , we ha e immedia ely a lowe bound ρ h(uh)≤Rh(uh),(15) since ρ his he sup emum o e subspace S+ hp⊂X. Howe e , i is open i he e exis s an uppe bound, i.e., Rh(uh)≤C ρ h(uh), whe e C>0. This will be he subjec o a u he esea ch. 2.3 Algeb aic Residuum Es ima o s Simila ly as in he p e ious sec ion, we de ine he es ima o co esponding o he algeb aic e o esiduum. Le ˜uh∈Shpbe he ou pu o he i e a i e p ocess used o he solu ion o (6). We de ine he algeb aic esiduum es ima o ρ A h(˜uh):=sup 06= ψ h∈Shp ˜ch(˜uh, ψ h) k ψ hkX=sup ψ h∈Shp,k ψ hkX=1˜ch(uh, ψ h),(16) which measu es he algeb aic e o ( he di e ence be ween ˜uhand uh), since ρ A h(uh) = 0 due o (6). The ela ions (14) and (16) gi e ρ A h(˜uh)≤ ρ h(˜uh), since in (14) he sup emum is aken o e he la ge space. We s op he i e a i e p ocess o he solu ion o he nonlinea algeb aic p oblem (6) i ρ A h(˜uh)≤ βρ h(˜uh),(17) whe e β ∈(0,1). In nume ical expe imen s we pu β ≈0.01. 2.4 Choice o he No m k·kX In o de o ensu e a as e alua ion o es ima o s ρ hand ρ A h, we need o choose he no m k·kX in a sui able way. We employ k·kX:= δ k·k2 L2(Ω)+ ε |·|2 H1(Ω,Th)1/2,(18) which gua an ees ha ρ h(uh)2=∑ K∈Th ρ h,K(uh)2.(19) He e δ and ε deno e he size o “con ec ion” and “di usion”, espec i ely. The e o e, i is su icien o e alua e he elemen esiduum es ima o s ρ h,K,K∈Th. This is a s anda d ask o seeking a cons ain ex ema o e SpK+1 Kwi h he cons ain k ψ hkX=1. This can be done di ec ly e y as since he dimension o SpK+1 K,K∈This small. 59 2.5 Residuum-Noncon o mi y Es ima o s We ha e al eady men ioned ha he second building block o he e o measu e is gi en by he noncon o mi y Nh(uh)de ined by (7). Fo he pu pose o a mesh adap a ion, we de ine i s local a ian Nh,K( ):= ∑ Γ∈FI h∩ ∂ KZΓh−1 Γ[[ ]]2dS+∑ Γ∈FD h∩ ∂ KZΓh−1 Γ( −uD)2dS  1/2 , ∈H1(Ω,Th). (20) Ob iously, om (7) and (20), we ha e Nh( )2=∑K∈ThNh,K( )2.Finally, we de ine he local and global esiduum-noncon o mi y es ima o s o he app oxima e solu ion uh∈Shpby η h,K(uh):= ρ h,K(uh)2+Nh,K(uh)21/2,K∈Th,(21a) and η h(uh):= ρ h(uh)2+Nh(uh)21/2= ∑ K∈Th η h,K(uh)2!1/2 ,(21b) espec i ely. In i ue o (10), (15) and (21), we expec ha he global esiduum-noncon o mi y es ima o η h(uh)app oxima es he e o measu e Eh(uh). In he ollowing we in oduce an adap- a ion echnique which p oduces a hp-mesh and he co esponding app oxima e solu ion such ha he es ima o η h(uh)is unde a gi en ole ance. 3hp-Adap a ion P ocess In his sec ion, we p esen a new hp-adap i e DG echnique o he solu ion o (6). In Sec ion 2, we de ined he elemen and global esiduum-noncon o mi y es ima o s η h,Kand η h, espec- i ely. We employ he no m k·kXgi en by (18) which gua an ees ha equali y (19) is alid. As al eady men ioned, ou in e es is o ind he solu ion ˜uh∈Shpsuch ha η h(˜uh)≤ ω ,(22) whe e ω >0 is a gi en ole ance. Le Thbe a gi en mesh and ˜uh he co esponding app oxima ion o (6). We equi e ha η h,K(˜uh)≤ ω √#Th∀K∈Th,(23) whe e #Thdeno es he numbe o elemen s o Th. Ob iously, i (23) is sa is ied hen, due o (21b), condi ion (22) is alid and he adap a ion p ocess s ops. O he wise, we ma k o e inemen all K∈Th iola ing (23). Fu he mo e, all ma ked elemen s will be e ined ei he by h- o by p-adap a ion, namely, ei he we spli a gi en mo he elemen Kin o ou daugh e elemen s o we inc ease he deg ee o polynomial app oxima ion o a gi en elemen . Thus he new mesh Tˆ hand new se {ˆpK,K∈ Tˆ h}a e c ea ed. We in e pola e he old solu ion on a new mesh and pe o m he nex adap a ion s ep ill (22) is alid. 3.1 Regula i y Indica o The es ima ion o he egula i y o he solu ion is an essen ial key o any hp-adap a ion s a egy. Ou app oach is based on a measu e o in e -elemen jumps which is he base o he jump indica o om [5] and he shock cap u ing echnique om [7]. 60 We p opose he egula i y indica o gK(uh):=R ∂ K∩Ω[[uh]]2dS |K|h2pK−2 K ,K∈Th,(24) whe e |K|is he a ea o K∈Th. I he exac solu ion is su icien ly egula , i.e., sK≥pK+1, hen gK(uh)≈Oh2pK+1 K/h2 Kh2pK−2 K=O(h1 K).On he o he hand, i he exac solu ion is no su icien ly egula , i.e., sK<pK+1 (⇔sK≤pK), hen gK(uh)≈Oh2sK−1 K/h2 Kh2pK−2 K= O(h2 δ −1 K),whe e δ =sK−pk≤0. Then we use he ollowing s a egy gK(uh)≤1⇒solu ion is egula ⇒p- e inemen , gK(uh)>1⇒solu ion is i egula ⇒h- e inemen ,K∈Th.(25) 4 Nume ical Expe imen s In he p e ious sec ions, we in oduced and de eloped he adap i e hp-DGFE me hod. We demons a e i s pe o mance in his sec ion by se e al nume ical examples. Le ˜uhbe he ap- p oxima e solu ion esul ing om an i e a i e me hod, i.e., he solu ion in luenced by he alge- b aic e o . We deal wi h wo ollowing nume ical examples: (E1) nonlinea con ec ion-di usion equa ion wi h a co ne singula i y om [9], (E2) linea con ec ion-di usion equa ion wi h he s ong in e io laye and he exponen ial bounda y laye om [10]. Fo he i s one, we know he exac solu ion and he e o e we a e able o e alua e he compu a ional e o . We ca ied ou a hp-adap i e algo i hm s a ing on a mesh wi h he s ep h0and P1polynomial app oxima ion. We e alua e ku−˜uhkX,Nh(˜uh)and ρ h(˜uh)wi h he co esponding expe imen al o de s o con e gence (EOC) wi h espec o he numbe o deg ee o eedom Nhde ined by EOC =logehl+1−logehl log(1/pNhl+1)−log(1/pNhl),l=1,2,..., (26) Mo eo e , we e alua e he “e ec i i y index” ie := η h(˜uh) ku−˜uhkX2+Nh(˜uh)21/2= ρ h(˜uh)2+Nh(˜uh)21/2 ku−˜uhkX2+Nh(˜uh)21/2.(27) Le us no e ha he index ie is no a s anda d e ec i i y index since ρ h(˜uh)is he app oxima ion o Rh(˜uh)and no o ku−˜uhkX.

In his case i would be also in e es ing o e alua e he a io ρ h(˜uh)/ku−˜uhkX. 4.1 (E1): Nonlinea Con ec ion-Di usion Equa ion wi h a Co ne Singula i y We conside he scala nonlinea con ec ion-di usion equa ion −∇·(K(u)∇u)− ∂ u2 ∂ x1− ∂ u2 ∂ x2=gin Ω:= (0,1)2,(28) 61 .00 .25 .50 .75 1.00 .00 .25 .50 .75 1.00 .00 .01 .03 .04 .05 .00 .01 .03 .04 .05 P 0 P 0 P 1 P 1 P 2 P 2 P 3 P 3 P 4 P 4 P 5 P 5 hp Sou ce: Own Fig. 1.Example (E1) gi en by (28) –(30) wi h α =−3/2: he inal g id wi h he co - esponding deg ees o polynomial app oxima ion, he whole domain (le ) and i s de ail (0,1/20)×(0,1/20)( igh ) whe e K(u)is he nonsymme ic ma ix gi en by K(u) = ε 2+a c an(u) (2−a c an(u))/4 0(4+a c an(u))/2.(29) The pa ame e ε >0 plays a ole o an amoun o di usi i y and we pu ε =10−3.
